OAKLAND -- The A's have one of the best young catchers in the Minors in their system, and he continues to draw widespread attention.
Sean Murphy, who frequently gets rave reviews for his elite defensive skills behind the plate, has been appointed by MLB Pipeline as the No. 4 catching prospect in the game.
This comes just months after MLB Pipeline put together an All-Arizona Fall League team and chose Murphy, a 2016 third-rounder, at catcher. Murphy played in 18 games for the Mesa Solar Sox, batting .309 with a .413 on-base percentage.
